May 18, 2010 – 7:07 pm

The market opened higher this morning, but, immediately started to slide.  Euro was also higher this morning, and it too, slipped from the open.  As the Euro went lower and lower, so did the market.  If you have been reading my articles, you would know that I have been more and more bearish about the [...]

May 13, 2010 – 4:35 pm

January 22, 2008 – 5:39 pm

Being pressured by a sell-off in the global financial markets, the Fed finally slashed interest rates by 75 Bps today. This certainly helped the market to minimize the loss today. The market futures were way down this weekend. Even with the rate cut being announced in pre-market hours, the market gapped down and quickly reached [...]
